Routledge Indigeneity: Before and Beyond the Law - Routledge

This scholarly work examines contested notions of indigeneity and the positioning of the Indigenous subject within and outside legal frameworks. Drawing on the philosophy of Jacques Derrida and Walter Benjamin, alongside continental philosophy and critical legal theory, the book explores how indigeneities are animated through literary and juridical texts. It addresses the troubled relationship between law and justice in Indigenous legal claims and literary expressions, whilst engaging with discourses of rights, recognition, postcolonialism and resistance across settler nation states. Published by Routledge, this text offers a nuanced analysis of how Indigenous peoples navigate legal systems and challenge conventional legal boundaries through theoretical and textual strategies.
